Cyberculture...

Cyberculture is something that has been apart of my life for quite a while. I think the older i get the more addicting it gets. I do not live and breathe on the computer, but i always find myself on it more than i should be. I was introduced to it when i was about five. That was when my parents brought home our first computer. I wasn't really into the computer when i was little. I used the computer and internet to play games and that was really it. As I got older I was introduced to AIM, AOL instant messenger. I guess that's where I was really introduced to cyberculture. Then as the years went on i started using the computer more. I now use aim, myspace, facebook, various games websites, itunes, online banking, etc.

I like using the computer and internet mostly for keeping intouch with my friends. All my really good friends went away to college so the interent helps me stay up-to-date with them. I wouldn't really say I use the computer to start relationships with people I don't know. I just think that is creepy. I only talk to people I know in person usually. Facebook and Myspace are two websites that make it easy to talk to strangers. I just don't find a point in it. AIM, facebook, and myspace allow me to instantly talk to my friends and thats what I like about them.

The computer is so hard to get away from these days. Sometimes it seems like our world could not live without the computer. I has become such a huge part of our lives. I have mostly good things to say about the computer and cyberculture world, but there are some negatives. I said at the beginning that you could call me an internet addict. I hate that sometimes. I can't go a day without being on the computer. When i don't go on the internet i feel so disconnected from the world it seems. Everyday I check my myspace, facebook, and AIM about 20 times a day! It is quite annoying. So while it is quite useful most of the time, it has its negative sides!
